Absolutely, and domain knowledge is obviously very important. This being said, a web app is in my mind a good solution for what we are discussing, as being able to be easily accessed through a simple browser is a big benefit (lots of users spread around, with only the brower and a net connection as the common point). > Many Java programmers care about free software, and have consciously > avoided .NET (which is very similar technologically and superior in some > ways) because Java is perceived of as being more "free." Well, that's not a perception, that's a fact ;) X+ _______________________________________________ software mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.flossfoundations.org/mailman/listinfo/foundations-software
